Weather Blog: Colder stretch of weather near

Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 blog! An overall mild start to November is about to turn much cooler. We get a break from dreary, rainy weather, but heavier coats may be needed once again. In today's blog we discuss the dip in temperatures and how long the colder than average weather is expected.

Let's start with a look at the surface map for today. Rain showers will exit southeastern Wisconsin from west to east. The rain should end by midday or early afternoon in most locations. The WPC forecast map below shows the set-up at 1pm today. With a cold front to the east of Milwaukee, colder air will rush across the area.

The colder airmass will lead to highs in the low to mid 40s heading into Thursday. The GFS forecast temperature map below shows a green color over southern Wisconsin. This translates to highs between 40-45 degrees.

Factor in any wind on Thursday and wind chills will stay in the 30s for most of the day. The cooler than average temperatures will linger on Friday. The GFS temperature forecast below again shows highs stuck in the 40s across central and southern Wisconsin.

Both days look dry and we should finally enjoy some sunshine!

Outside of a spotty rain shower Friday night, the upcoming weekend should be dry with seasonal high temperatures in the low 50s Saturday, and mid to upper 40s on Sunday.

Don't forget...coming up soon we will reveal the winter forecast right here in the Weather Watch 12 blog! More details coming soon!
